@killbillrules because people did not know the bad habits of cigarette smoke until the late 70’s genius
Lucy almost divorced Desi in 1944 and 1949; one reason “I LOVE LUCY’ was specificially created was so that they could stay [and work] together. By 1959, however, he was too busy running Desilu (and seeing other women), while she was busy trying to keep from being lonely…the marriage simply unraveled in March 1960. They remained friends, however, right up until his death in 1986.
Yes, you could always tell that she loved Desi, heart and soul. I’m always happy to hear how they remained friends after they divorced. Lucy seemed very practical, and to her the divorce was a necessity for her and her kids’ survival and happiness, but she seemed protective of Desi’s problems that he couldn’t be strong enough to overcome. I’m glad she came to realize they were his demons, and not something that was her doing, as occurs in some abusive relationships.
where did you find this video i would love to see the rest of it?
how old was lucille ball when she divorce desi??
@terlos07 , 48.
@terlos07 She was born in 1911, married him in 1940 and divorced him in 1960 at age 49. He was 6 yrs younger than her. She was SO beautiful.
@Jibbie49 , she turned 48 in August 1959. She and Desi filed for divorce seven months later, in March 1960, and two months after that it became final. She didn’t turn 49 until 3 months after the divorce became final.
Who’s the other woman they show on the panel?? Is that Elizabeth Ashely?
God I miss that amazing lady.
I TRULY BELIEVE THEY LOVED EACH OTHER UNTIL THEY DIED. I LOVED I LOVE LUCY.
She adored Desi and loved him. He lived in her guest cottage many years later after she remarried.
@cracksoup

@caloscalante1518 agreed. it’s such good quality compared to a majority of tv today.
@Lucy4Ever11 you guys are all so knowledgable, so I’m just going to read and not comment 🙂 guess it’s always the life of a star eh.
@tyler5wy1 I belive, could be wrong, she saied He was the love of my life but I couldnt take anymore. I believe she was talking about his cheating. But she never denied she loved him that is certain.
@RlrbladeMan07 Now I am crying my eyes out. So very sad yet so tender and beatiful. .
@missgibbdreamer She was reminising about when Desi had a coughing spell, coughed up his spleen and died!

@tezman1990 she was in like 50 dramatic movies. She was multi talented.
@Outlaw1257 Who do you know that worked with her?
@killbillrules That’s really dumb. Lucille Ball would be like 99. a lot of nonsmokers die by the time they are 99.
@Fluttercry THAT WOULD B COOL IF SHE WAS 99 I MEAN harrison ford IS STILL ALIVE & HE DIDNT SMOKE
